I heart Bettie Page.
I've always been a fan and have seen plenty of documentaries and biographies that suffice it to say, 'The Notorious Bettie Page' did a pretty good job of recounting her life.
Gretchen Mol looks great and did an awesome job.
Kudos.
While watching this, it made me reflect on how she had such a huge subtle impact on sexual pop culture, and influenced scores of Rockabilly and burlesque chicks.
I remember reading on how after she disappeared from the public eye, she really had no idea how popular she is/was.
I can't remember the exact quote, but it was along the lines of, 'I can't believe there would still be an interest in little ol' me and some pictures I took ages ago.'
It was also after this movie that I got inspired that my next tattoo will be Bettie or a pin-up girl.
I just need to find a good portrait artist.
Denver readers, any suggestions?

send me a pic of bettie that you want forever engraved in your skin and i can draw you up a suitable tatoo of her.
i think that despite being a born again, the real BP has since cashed in on the gravy train. i think i read a story about her in rolling stone...it began with her just signing a shit ton of BP licensed products for $$$.
Hmm.. I would cash in to if I was her age.
